Mon's TEN fanfic sites

1. Hakuouki is one of the anime that accidentally turned me into one of it's fans after 12 episodes.  Before I decided to watch, I had in mind it'll be like some ninja or mythical story but as it turns out: there is myth but no ninja, instead, all samurai.  It's a story based on an actual group "Shinsengumi" and events happened during late "Tokugawa Bakufu" period in Japan, but of course, most characters are probably fiction based except some names such as the group leader and main character Hijikata Toshizō.  Shinsengumi was a special police force formed for the mission to act as the protectors of Tokugawa Iemochi, the 14th shogun, who was preparing to embark on a trip to Kyoto.  However, this group later became a resistance towards the new government.  It was quite confusing in the beginning when I have no idea about that part of history and hard to stimulate my mind to keep watching.  So it bored me on the first two episodes until the story tension appeared.  My main motivation was the "picture perfect" images.  From characters to scenery, I cannot stop myself noticing the talented drawing skills.  However, the storyline got better and better towards the end although it was also getting more ridiculous at the same time also.  I think there's a possibility it's becoming more of a vampire love story than Samurai story.  Anyhow, I am still looking forward  to season two where the revolution has made and Shinsengumi continued to resist the new govt hoping to revive the old Edo period.  In this fanfic "Crossing Swords" although it's in one chapter (a very short one) quite a creative writing, I like the action in it.  Interesting and able to imagine the sword fight.  Longer would be good.

2. How can anyone not be a fan of HEROES? Imagine yourself with a special power and what would you do with it? Be like Peter, trying to save the world and turns out making it worse? Or like Syler, doing what is best for him only?  I wish I have the power of time travelling, like Hiro.  So I can go back time and see whether if history happened the same as it was written.  There are so many "what ifs..." in Heroes.  Nothing can ever be certain, although this drama is getting way too long for me to follow.  Still think the first three seasons were probably the best so far.  In this fanfic site, I really think it's quite well written, almost like the real thing.

3. Grey's Anatomy is following a group of interns' work and private life in and out of hospital.  It wasn't one of my favourite topic in TV drama that I'd choose to watch, however, that was what I thought before Dr. McDreamy came along.  It's always a bonus to find romance, comedy, and bit of adrenaline rush when "amazing things could happen" in hospital.  Some are funny, some can just be too surreal.  Sometimes I get bored watching Meredith so it's really great to see someone like Christina Yang to spice things up.  However, Derek seems to be still the centre of the attention in this fanfic site.  Quite a touching one based on the subject "if tomorrow never comes.", an insight of Derek's thoughts.  Very moving and almost draw my tears.  Wish there's a continued story for me to carry on reading, perhaps even better, making this into one of the episodes of "Grey's Anatomy".  Would be quite a big surprise to see Meredith pregnant.

4. Sex and the City is the best girl show I've ever seen.  Four strangers met in New York city and later became each others best friends for life.  It's wonderful to have friendship like Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda to have anything you can talk about with.  In this fanfic it's about the coming back of Samantha's breast cancer and she dies from it and written in Carrie's point of view after Samantha dies.  Although it's well written but somehow I think there's a little bit lack of word emotion expressed in the writing.  Perhaps not enough to feel touching yet, though it's very very VERY sad to see Samantha gone.  "Sex and the City" will never be "Sex and the City" anymore without either any one of the four.  But most of the times I think Samantha is the rep for "SEX" and Carrie is the "City" for the show's title.

5. Hotaru no Hikari  This is a drama which I think most of the girls now days can possibly reflect themselves with.  It feels great after a hard days work and comes home, change into something comfortable to wear with and go to the fridge and open up a cold can of BEER!  This type of woman in Japan is called "Himono Ona", a dried up woman aka a woman that no man will be attracted to.  The main character is focused on this Office Lady (OL) name Amemia Hotaru.  She's beautiful and hard working in the office who is also single (for a very long time already).  Her daily life would be: go to work and come home fully relaxed and be herself.  Until one day her boss from work got divorced and decided to come back to his father's home which was also rented to Hotaru.  They bump into each other at home without knowing they both living there at the same time until next day in the morning Hotaru's boss, Seiichi Takano, saw the mess in the house and found her sleeping on the floor covered with news paper as her blanket.  This is a romantic comedy which literally made me laughed in every episode.  The second TV show that made me want to watch again and again just like how I felt for "Friends".  I am also excited to see the second season which started just two weeks ago after three years of unexpected continual.  This fanfic couldn't say to be my favourite one because it's written tragically but a great one to review on.  Would be better if the fanfic story has input some humor to attract me on wanting to read more like how the TV show was.  Although it's pretty refreshing to see the creative imagination into Takano's mind which kinda reminds me of a movie "Being John Malkovich".


6. Toy Story 3 : A story that really touched my heart from the very most.  Who doesn't have toys when you were a kid?  There were favorite ones and not so favorite ones, but you still played every single one of them when you just got them as your new present on your birthdays.  Then, after few years time, you grow up and gradually leaving your toys in boxes instead of playing them.  Until one day you start to clean up your room for things to be thrown away because you're on your way to do your big OE or "grown up" plans.  You found those old toys that has been by your side through childhood which you almost forgot while growing up.  Now, they will be given away because you don't need them anymore.  Every time at the very thought of this, made me want to cry.  I can never throw any of my toys away when I cleaned up my room for spaces.  Thank goodness it has a happy ending.  I'm not quite sure why this fanfic was written in capital letters with italic font and also underlined in the first chapter, it's quite a long fanfic story (in 10 chapters, wonder how long it took to finish it) almost like a rewrite of the movie.  Although I've enjoyed reading the first chapter, but it was almost too much like the movie so kinda bored me out after the first.  Suppose I like a shorter fanfic where you'll have more space for imaginations.

 7. The Karate Kid 2010  In the old karate kid there were dialogs "wipe on, wipe off" with the new karate kid it is, "put the jacket on, take it off, hang it up and pick it up...".  That really cracked me up for sure after noticing the similarities with the old and new.  However, what really caught my attention and became a fan of this movie was when Mr. Han said to Dre, " There are no bad students, only bad teachers...".  Which is quite true because students learn from teachers, students' learnings are the result of teacher's teachings. I've been a Jacky Chen's movie fan since childhood, from a stunts man to an international movie star.  Watching his movies is almost like watching his life journey on big screen.  In Jacky's film, there's alwasy a message inside besides pure action.  Sometimes you'll have to look carefully to find it.  Think that's the big major factor that really attract me to watch his film on and on these years.  For this fanfic site I found, which almost all the fanfic for karate kid is focused on "romance" between Dre and Mei, I find it quite weird reading a romance story on those two characters when knowing they are only 12yrs old!  Would be pretty cool if I can find anyone who will write the next competition training though.

8. Memento is about a person who have lost his long-term memory and can only rely on his short-term memory which only lasts 15mins.  What was fascinating about this film where I can never forget was the way the film was portrayed.  It started off quite confusing because of the often black and color scene switch during the movie and it was also done backwards.  So basically you'll have a good memory to finish the film to understand what was going on.  "Keep it all in mind" fanfic story is very attractive to read on.  The author is quite talented I find, I was able to imagine myself being the character, a lot of fun to play around with your memory sometimes although it can also be quite scary.

 9. Natsume's Book of Friends
(Natsume Yūjin-Chō)  This is the type of fiction story that I love to watch.  It is about a boy inherited his grandmother's ability to see ancient "monsters" where these monsters usually are the creations from Japanese mythology.  But the boy, Natsume, does not have the skill to slay the monsters like his grandmother.  One day, Natsume's parents past away and he is then adopted by his Aunt and Uncle who later gave him his grandmother's book that seems worthless to them.  But this book, Natsume no yujin cho, contained names of the monsters that Natsume's grandma had fought and won and owned their names.  Whoever owns this book gets to control and decide the life and death of the monsters' names in the book.  However, I thought the fanfic sites will be mostly about monsters or even better write about Natsume's grandma on how she fought and gained the names of the monsters, but no, most fanfic are like this fanfic site I found: about a love story between Natsume and Natori ( who is a guy with the same ability a Natsume only stronger in terms of monster slaying skills).  I mean, I do enjoy romances such as "Brokback Mountain" kind, although I really find it hard to adapt to see Natsume and Natori together as a couple...I think Natsume and Neko sensei is a much better match (laugh).


10. Summer Wars Can you imagine our world day by day is closer to the world of cyberspace than our real life?  The film's main characters are based in Japan where the whole world's cities are all managed in cyberspace.  Everyone has an ID and cyber-characters, from train operators to firemen & policemen, from politicians to presidents, all have their own ID and individual authorities.  Then one day, a "hacker" showed up and gained access to break into the high level security in this cyber-city.  The hacker start to mess up systems which directly affect city runnings in real life.  Main character, Kenji, a Mathematics genius who is able to decode within a minute or two, he is also one of the cyber-city's security engineer and accidentally decoded the security code without knowing what it was for to the hacker. The film's storyline was so interesting that I felt I'm looking into the future of today.  This fanfic site is a bit way too long as well but I like the title "We live in Wonderland", which is very true, a wonderland we've created.

Kevin's 10 fan fic links

Cinderella - this fanfiction shows a little different side of the original "Cinderella" story. This fanfiction shows from the view of a new charater, the 'servant'. This female servant, who fall in love with the prince that shes serves. In the story, she tries to get close even its not mean to be. By showing it from the whole new side of the story, the happy ending Cinderella story has changed to the sad ending servant story,





Tekken - this is about a game call 'Tekken'. this fanfiction does not contain much story but just brief story line which every 'Tekken' series contains and some 'created' charaters for new series of the game.






Blades of Glory - this fanfiction might have put out what everyone would have thought during the movie 'Blades of Glory'. The movie shows very un-men-like for the both main charaters Jimmy and Chazz. This fanfiction actually decided to show "GAY" side of the both Jimmy and Chazz. The writer shows that as they fall in love with each other by skating together in the pair skating. At the end they finally get together and the story gets a bit nasty. It does not show any ending but anyone can expect the rest.





Pacifier - the fanfiction is a second cersion of Pacifier, so its Pacifier 2. Even though the story hasnt been finished, actually it only has the begining, it seemed very interesting. It showed great relation to the original Pacifier and as this is the Pacifier2, the new charaters has been added, agent Cameron Rivers.

Kung Fu Panda - I think the sotry takes part after the Movie, when every thing is all happy and quite. The story has not been finished yet but the author is trying to make the story like Kung Fu Panda 2. Some new charaters like S and X are included who are brothers of the Shifu. The story has some flash back of Shifu and I think, as the story goes, S will appear as the villan and Shifu and his disciples will try to save the day like the original movie

Kick Ass - this would be more like Funny review rather than a fanfiction. The author calls himself Bum man, which is nothing but Bum man. The author just tells about the charaters of the movie, story line and some funny lines in the movie. This "fan review" just reviews the movie Kick Ass in his kind of way and trying to creat laughter.

300 - The movie 300 meets the new ending with this fanfiction. The author trying to change the ending but I would say it changed the who movie as the changing start from the middle of the movie, which will totally change the ending . The author who did not like the death of the King Leonidas is trying to save the king from getting killed. Soon after the King Leonidas and his 300 Hippeis left to fight for their honour and for Sparta, the rumor spread by the merchants lead the honourable army of Spartan to leave and help King Leonidas. The stroy is not quite finished, actually its only the begining but it could bring the total different ending for the movie 300 and for King Leonidas.

Karate Kid - This fanfiction did not created or changed from the movie Karate kid but it gave a charater's(Dre) thought on a scene. This made me think of the scene and why Dre tries to help and train with Mr Han even in that situation and also how he thinks about Mr Han.

Ninja Assassin - This fan fiction is different from what I expected. This is just a love story from Mika's point of view, waiting for her boyfriend, maybe husband, Raizo to come back from his ninja work. It is somewhat DIRTY and doesnt contains much information except from how much Mika misses Raizo to come back from his work, being Ninja.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves - It shows Snow White's point of view after she met the Prince Charming. She worries that whether the Prince Charming really loves her, leaving her only friend, the seven dwarves, and her step-mother, the queen, who hasn't been always evil. The story is weak and doesnt carry any story or any kind of information. It just shows a little bit of Snow White's opinion and how she goes on with the prince.

YOUSUN'S 10 FANFICTION SITES

1. Twilight with a Twist from TWILIGHT. (BOOK)

However in this fan fiction the author changes story and write that Edward never existed in the world and Bella fall in love with a vampire who is called Rosalie. Focusing on changing main character but the storyline seemed too simple.

In this fan fiction, Satsuki and her younger sister, Mei, have agreed to meet together one day but a gang of three girls were chasing after Mei. Satsuki had to fight and at the same time, ran away from them with Mei. The author tried to make an interesting story... but it seems to be too far and hard to understand...


3. Outside of History Adventure From Back to the Future.(MOVIE)

This fan fiction is written in the time after the end of the movie. Jane and John Smith were settled into a new home and have peaceful life. However, the couple argued over trifles every time and John decided to have a babe but... Jane said shocking words... "I'm pregnant."


It was interesting and the idea was fresh and unexpected.

Actually, He was intelligent and studied at Stanford University but he was falsely charged and with kicked off the university because of his roommate, Brycee Larkin.

The story starts with an old woman named Rose Calvert, told her story about her life on Titanic to her granddaughter. She met Jack Dawson who is a poor artist on Titanic which was the biggest ship in the world and they felled in love at first sight. Not long after the ship sank after crashing into an iceberg and sunk down to the bottom of the North Atlanti. Rose survived her life but Jack froze to death.



What would happen if Jack survived from the crashing but Rose didn't know about it? This fan fiction depicts a situation that Jack tried to find Rose everyday and he finally found her. She was homeless and her face was obscured by limp and hair was dirty. Jack took her to his apartment and sweared himself to take care of her forever and never lost her again. It seems to be too fast to the ending and the description isn't clear to understand the story.


7. The Secret Diary Of Cameron Baum FROM Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles's stories. (TV Series)

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles stories are the long running series on TV that is based on the Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Sarah and John decided to stop running from enemy terminators focus on stopping the birth of Skynet. Cameron who is the most human-like terminator, sent from the future to protect John Connor. They tried to save the human world and fought to enemies.



This fan fiction describes the thoughts of Cameron and how she felt about humans. Every day she wrote a diary about her daily lives and day by day, she seemed to be changed and learnt about human’s emotions... This fan fiction felt like fresh and the emotional connection between character to character was well organised. The problem of this story was that some characters seem to disappear without a notice.


8. District 10's Secret FROM District 9.(MOVIE)

Mulan is outgoing and enthusiastic about everything she does but everyday hse has to stay at home with mother-in-law. The boredom of doing the same housework things every day is killing her. Mulan has awfully strange feelings one day and suddenly she cannot control the feelings.
The author describes the normal life of married woman perfectly but if the author had written the story a bit longer and explained it particularly, this fan fiction would be more easy to understand and could be better than now..

Father soothed a crying Katarina and right after she became calm, got a phone call from someone and had gone out quickly. She got a shower to soothe herself and after did a shower she heard a bad news from Bianca that Patrick got an accident and moved a hospital after the party.

Even though the author made a new ending, the story didn't show the ending clearly but interesting story.

Xtina's 10 fanfiction reviews

1. Cold Case : Double-crossed

Cold case released its first episode in 2003 in the USA.  The Philadelphia homicide squad's lone female detective finds her calling when she's assigned "cold cases" - older crimes that have never been solved. It is different from other criminal TV series as it is based on the 'past'.
The fanfiction, Double-crossed, is well-written and organized.  The story is divided into chapters which makes it easier for the readers. Great plot and lines.  However, the sentences are very simple which limits the readers' imagination.



Friends is an American sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, which ran on NBC from September 22, 1994 to May 6, 2004.  The series revolves around a group of friends in the area of Manhattan, New York City. The series finale (airing on May 6, 2004) was watched by 52.5 million American viewers, making it the fourth most-watched series finale in television history.   
Anniversary Gone Bad is very Friends.  Things always go the way they shouldn't be going in Friends and they always end in smiles as if the bad turn was nothing.  However, I personally think the fan-fiction is just a simple creative writing that happen to have characters with same names from Friends. There was not any of the Friends jokes. None of the lines would reflect the personalities in Friends. Jokes and each individual's strong characteristics are what made Friends global.  I could not see any of that in this fanfiction.


3. Ghost Whisperer : Entering the Tunnels alone

The series follows the life of Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. While trying to live as normal a life as possible—she is married and owns an antique store—Melinda helps earthbound spirits resolve their problems and cross over into the Light, or the spirit world.  Her tasks are difficult and at times she struggles with people who push her away and disbelieve her ability.  In addition, the ghosts are mysterious and sometimes menacing in the beginning and Melinda must use the clues available to her to understand the spirit's needs and help them.   The show was created by John Gray and was produced by Sander/Moses Productions, in association with ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios. On May 18, 2010, CBS canceled the show after five seasons.
Entering the Tunnels Alone is a continuation of an episode.  The plot goes very well with the actual episode.  I am still not sure why smacking was involved but it definitely was an interesting read and seems like the writer has many fans on-site.  'Ghost Whisperer' is a combination of thriller, drama and romance.  Melinda can talk to dead people and help them.  Some spirits had a sudden death without saying proper goodbyes to their loved ones.  Entering the Tunnels Alone describes what sort of person Melinda is and how this makes her unable to help herself helping the dead ones.  Good read.


4. Ninja Turtles : Even I do

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or simply Ninja Turtles) are a fictional team of four anthropomorphic turtles, who were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei in the art of Ninjutsu and named after four Renaissance artists.  From their home in the storm sewers of New York City, they battle petty criminals, evil megalomaniacs, and alien invaders, all while remaining isolated from society at large.  The characters initially appeared in comic books before being licensed for toys, cartoons, video games, films, and other merchandise.  During the peak of its popularity in the late 1980s through early 1990s, the franchise gained considerable worldwide success and fame.  
Even I do is one of the best fanfictions I have read so far doing this project.  The writer has reflected Raphaello's and Donatello's emotion very well with the perfect description for the readers to actually be aware of what is happening and how they feel.


 5. Batman, the animated series : No more!


In 1992, the birth of Warner Bros. "Batman: The Animated Series" changed the Batman Universe forever. The dynamic series spawned a new technique in animation using black backgrounds that would eventually be dubbed "Dark Deco." Dark Deco gave every scene within Gotham an extraordinary look, redefining the image of the city. The series also revamped the classic characters, casting a unique perspective on their origins and personalities. The series included all the popular characters and even created some new ones. The most significant change was the transformation of the Dick Grayson/Robin character in the "new" 90's costume, resulting in a hipper more adult representation which the character has never seen. The Batman character continued to embody the dark image fans have come to love while maintaining the heroic qualities identified with the character.
Another significant change was the transformation of the Rogues Gallery of Villains. From the ever-popular Joker to the more obscure Clock King, the series displayed each villain's unique personality to perfection and introduced new characters, including the popular Ms. Harley Quinn. Although she wasn't born into the Batman universe until the seventh episode of the series, Harley quickly overshadowed such long time favorites as Catwoman and Poison Ivy. Thanks to Batman: TAS, Harley Quinn will be a staple in the Batman genre forever.  In Fall 1995, the final five episodes aired (85 total episodes were produced) and the curtain closed on Batman: The Animated Series.
The fanfiction No more! was  a good example of a fanfiction that reflects the characterisation of the original.  The setting is similar to many of those in the traditional batman stories.  The way the joker was introduced to the story brought a twist to the plot and raised the tension.   The writer made some attempts to develop the relationships between characters and was well done.



6. Notebook : Like a butterfly

The Notebook is a 2004 romantic drama film directed by Nick Cassavetes, based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks.  The film stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a young couple who fall in love during the early 1940s.  Their story is narrated from the present day by an elderly man played by James Garner, telling the tale to a fellow nursing home resident, played by Gena Rowlands.  
Like a butterfly was simply a summary of the whole movie, as the author admits.  However, by including a butterfly as a metaphor of their relationship, the writer has created yet another version of the movie.  A life of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly is a unpredictable adventure.  The love of the young couple in Notebook is demonstrated by making a connection to the tough life of a butterfly. 

 7. Cinderella : Farming Maiden

Cinderella; or, The Little Glass Slipper is a classic folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward.  Thousands of variants are known throughout the world.  The title character is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances which suddenly change to remarkable fortune.  The word "cinderella" has, by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes are unrecognised, or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect.  The still-popular story of Cinderella continues to influence popular culture internationally, lending plot elements, allusions, and tropes to a wide variety of media.
Farming Maiden is either written in a hurry or by a primary schooler.  The writer did not even make a little effort to check the spelling nor the grammar.  They both were patchy and made the whole fanfiction look cheap.  However, the plot was imaginative and could have been built into a much better piece with more time and attention.


 8. Sex and the city : The Reckoning

Sex and the City is an American cable television and film series.  Set in New York City, the show focused on four white American women, three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties.  The quirky series had multiple continuing story lines and tackled socially relevant issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, safe sex, and promiscuity.  It specifically examined the lives of big-city professional women in the late 1990s/early 2000s and how changing roles and expectations for women affected the characters.
The Reckoning is a fanfiction that has changed everything we know about Sex and the City.  New York City is smoking up in deadly fire, people are eating their family and friends for survival, even those who have survived the food crisis still suffer from disease and die a painful death.  Carrie is well-known as a fashion-icon who lives high-end life with the husband who loves her like no one else would.  In this story, Carrie has only one cloth left to wear, drink out of dirty water from drain, eats out of out-dated cans and is the only survivor in her city.  This plot is very refreshening and I liked as this opened a whole new perspective of Sex and the City.


9. PS I love you : PS I love you ,too

P.S. I Love You is Irish writer Cecelia Ahern's first novel, published in 2004. The book reached #1 bestseller status in Ireland (for 19 weeks), the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands.  Set in Ireland, Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry.  So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly.  The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there.  Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry, so it's a good thing he planned ahead.  Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of 10 letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself.  The messages are Gerry's way of informing Holly life goes on.  The messages include various tasks and treats Gerry has left for Holly.  This is his way of letting her know he will always be there for her.  Each letter sends her on a new adventure and each signs off in the same way: "P.S. I Love You."  Holly's mother and best friends, Sharon and Denise, begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future.
This book is one of my all-time-favourite books.  Gerry has proved that love is giving not receiving.  It was grateful to see Holly moving on even though it was through a fanfiction.  I understand how it feels to lose someone from your life.  The pain might become vague but that doesn't mean that person is forgotten.  This is well reflected in Holly's letter when she says 'Love you always'.  This could have liked this fanfiction only because I am a great fan of the author and her books but, it was well connected to the original and had a good flow and continuation from the book.


10.  My sister's keeper : To Be Left Behind

My Sister's Keeper is a 2004 novel written by Jodi Picoult. It tells the story of 13-year-old Anna, who sues her parents for medical emancipation when she is expected to donate a kidney to her sister Kate, who is dying from leukemia.
This fanfiction writer has a great ability to express feelings into words.  Not many people understand how it feels to lose someone and to be left behind.  This fanfiction has really touched me and it was so easy to be connected to the story.  I personally reckon this person has what it takes to be an author and would love to see her/his writing published in black and white.  Totally loved it.
